Experiments with such people are fascinating, because such people will insist that they are blind, but will have unerring accuracy when told, &quot;There is a cup in front of you. Pick it up.&quot; They tend to get angry when you tell them they have the ability to see (though they are pretty severely impaired), since they are not consciously aware of the stuff they see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-61862183193238819792013-07-17T14:35:40.230-04:002013-07-17T14:35:40.230-04:00Grumpy can not reveal anymore than the generic, an...Grumpy can not reveal anymore than the generic, and certainly can not relate any information as to what he told him regarding medical treatments. There is a fine line when dealing with privileged communications. Priest/ Penitent, Lawyer/ Guilty Guy, I mean client, Doctor / Patient a fascinating area of legal study. Take an abusing priest who confesses to Bishop..... and you see where I am going with this.

He had a normal lumbar CT scam the first ED visit and his neuro exams were always equivocal -the numbness kept moving, the reflexes kept changing, etc. He would be seen crossing his legs while in bed and, of course, everyone thought he was malingering. The thing was, this was a really nice guy who seemed genuinely distressed. Psych couldn&#39;t find anything acutely wrong either. Finally, the fourth time he came in, the doc decided to do another CT scan - lumbar and thoracic. He had a bleed (apparently, a slow epidural bleed) at, I believe T10 or a little higher. Poor guy was rushed to surgery, but ended up paraplegic anyway. It was definitely one of my weirdest cases.
